Matang Gejia villages

In Kaili, a saying circulates like this: Hakka people greet guests with tea, Miao people with wine and Gejia people with rice. InMatang Gejia Village , the especially friendly villagers will serve you with overloaded bowls of yummy and organic rice.

For travelers, one of the highlights in Matang Gejia Village is to indulge in this tranquil village’s unspoiled idyllic landscape, slow-paced countryside lifestyle and the uncommercialized atmosphere.Upon your arrival, Gejia people will dress up and line up the entry of the village, performing theguest-greeting songandoffering rice wine. During the stopover, you can ramble around and talk with warm-hearted Gejia people, to share photos with them for free and venture into their houses to enjoy theirmarvelous batik artworkand unravel its mystery by observing the making process. If you are lucky, Gejia people will dress you up with their unique costumes. Do not miss those merry performances such asLusheng Dance, Bench Dance, love songs, wine-toasting songs and guest-greeting songs.

Lost their written language, Gejia people express their culture and history by festivals, attires and batik artworks.Gejia woman are born talented batik makers. Girls in their young age are trained to draw patterns and do embroidery. Their handmade wedding dresses are results of over one decade’s hard work. Gejia female’s attires are very exotic. Girls usually wear hat with red trimmings and married women wrap their hairs with handkerchiefs.However, the most defining feature of Gejia women’s attires is the queer combination of masculine and femininity.

In Gejia people’s home, you can see the bows and arrows enshrined in the niches, which are reminiscent of Hou Yi.Gejia language, attires, customs and totems are characterized by their simplicity and exoticness.The ancient lifestyles perished long ago in other parts of China still thrive here. For instance, the outstanding batik technique of Gejia people has combined the practices of Han, Tang and Qing dynasties. Today, it ranks as top folklore art form which is sought after by outsiders both home and abroad.Main festivals celebrated here include Gejia People New Year, Hajie, Ancestor Worship Festival, February 2nd, Dragon Boat Festival, Ghost Month Festival and Chongyang Festival, etc.
